COURSE SUMMARY :
Predictable implant success depends on having both a hard and soft tissue foundation. Without bone, we can never achieve predictable implant success. If the bone is not there, it needs to be regenerated. We will discuss various treatment modalities on how to achieve a solid bony foundation for implant placement. Soft tissue is the other key factor that needs particular attention. With a solid bony foundation, there needs to be a healthy soft tissue environment for long term predictability. Soft tissue augmentation procedures will be discussed as well as the incorporation of biologics to enhance both hard and soft tissue augmentation and regeneration.
